A no-drink notice remains in effect in Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village after concerning levels of lead have been detected in the area s water supply over the past seven months.
The highest level recorded was almost 40 times the acceptable limit.
The vast majority of the area s about 1500 residents have been tested for blood-lead levels as a result.
RNZ revealed last month some people had returned blood-lead levels above the internationally-accepted safe level, including children.
An earlier public meeting on the lead in the water supply attracted hundreds of people.
The Dunedin City Council said this Friday s planned meeting had been postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions. ....
